Some days we get a thrill in our brains
Some days it turns into malaise
You see our face in the veneer
Reflected on the surface of fear
Because you know that we're better than that
But some days we're worse than you can imagine
And how am I supposed to live with that?
With all these train wrecks coming at random
Hey - what are you gonna do?
When those walls are falling down - falling down on you
Hey - what are you gonna do?
When those walls are falling down - falling down on you
You got warheads stacked in the kitchen
You treat distraction like it's a religion
With a rattlesnake step in your rhythm
We do the best with the souls we've been given
Because you know we're nothing special to them
We're going some place they've already been
Trying to make sense of what they call wisdom
And this riff-raff ain't laughing with them
Hey - what are you gonna do?
When those walls are falling down - falling down on you
Hey - what are you gonna do?
When those walls are falling down - falling down on you
You're wearing all the years on your face
Turn a tombstone into your own place
And your heart only beats in a murmur
But your words ring out just like murder

crazy stuff! loving it!!
I honestly thought there were two different songs accidentally playing over the top of each other!
Drums make the same sound as when my wife puts shoes in the dryer.....

I had never heard this before. Can't say it's my favorite, but I give him credit for messing around.
That drum track is so out of sync with the rest of the arrangement.

Great track from one of his best albums overall.

Sounds like a bunch of boxes falling down some stairs while they recorded this.

RP uncovered other Beck samples, any clue about these drums?
Sounds like a bunch of boxes falling down some stairs while they recorded this. Just too jarring to enjoy. Respect the artist, but it's not working for me.

Hmm, not what I'd expect from Beck...but that's one of the cool things about him! Gotta hear more, I think...
